The specifications of the materials used may differ from the parameters required in the design of structures. This difference can affect the response of structures. In this study, we have tried to investigate the sensitivity analysis of the effects of changing the properties of materials on the seismic response of a suspended cable bridge equipped with RNC isolator. A cable bridge with and without the RNC isolation has been dynamically analyzed after initial modeling under a Sanfernado earthquake record. Then, the effect of random variables on the response of these structures is investigated using Monte Carlo and first order second moment sensitivity methods. Finally, the accuracy of FOSM analysis compared to Monte Carlo method. Two parameters of base shear and maximum deck displacement are considered as structural responses. The results show that among the material characteristics, final strength properties of concrete, reinforcement yield stress and modulus of elasticity of cables have the most influence on the seismic response of these structures. Also, the sensitivity of these parameters in the isolated bridge is lower than that of the non-separated bridge. %U https://ceej.aut.ac.ir/article_3664_3e1304dca5070f4bc0dfdfe2d2bf6a20.pdf
